keeps your daughter away.....


^{Once upon a time in mid winter, when the snowflakes were falling like feathers from heaven, a beautiful queen sat sewing at her window, which had a frame of black ebony wood. As she sewed, she looked up at the snow and pricked her finger with her needle. Three drops of blood fell into the snow. The red on the white looked so beautiful, that she thought, "If only I had a child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as this frame." Soon afterward she had a little daughter that was as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as ebony wood, and therefore they called her Little Snow-White.
(Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm)}


Yeah I know... don't mind the title... This is just a lame joke I made up while I was drawing this... ^_^;

This drawing has been inspired by the fairy tale Snow White (the brother Grimm's fairy tales are my favorite ones with Charles Perrault's ones) I wanted to try a new experience. I forced myself to use only 3 colors : red, black and white/light blue since Snow white is supposed to be white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as ebony wood And here is the result! I really enjoyed drawing this elegant dress! I love to draw corsets and lace!!! ^o^

Well, this is a strange version of Snow White I know... But it has been a while I had not drawn an aristocrat gothic lolita and blood stains >.>;;; Ok, the poor little princess is supposed to run away in the woods whereas she's not used to such a life, so she might hurt herself isn't it? (I have always wondered how she did manage to survive in this hostile forest... ok she was with the dwarves but...) If you're not satisfied with this version of SW, just consider that this is not her, just a another random egl I drew! ^^
